Many amusing stories are told of Joe Haines, a comedian of the time of Charles II., sometimes called "Count" Haines. It is said that he was arrested one morning by two bailiffs for a debt of £20, when he saw a bishop to whom he was related passing along in his coach. With ready resource he immediately saw a loophole for escape, and turning to the men, he said, "Let me speak to his lordship, to whom I am well known, and he will pay the debt and your charges into the bargain." The bailiffs thought they might venture this, as they were within two or three yards of the coach, and acceded to the request. Joe boldly advanced and took off his hat to the bishop. His lordship ordered the coach to stop, when Joe whispered to the divine that the two men were suffering from such scruples of conscience that he feared they would hang themselves, suggesting that his lordship should invite them to his house and promise to satisfy them. The bishop agreed, and calling to the bailiffs, he said, "You two men come to me tomorrow morning, and I will satisfy you." The men bowed and went away pleased, and early the next day waited on his lordship, who, when they were ushered in, said, "Well, my men, what are these scruples of conscience?" "Scruples?" replied one of them. "We have no scruples! We are bailiffs, my lord, who yesterday arrested your cousin, Joe Haines, for a debt of £20, and your lordship kindly promised to satisfy us." The trick was strange, but the result was stranger, for his lordship, either appreciating its cleverness or considering himself bound by the promise he had unintentionally given, there and then settled with the men in full.

The postmasters were free from all public offices, from liability to quarter soldiers, and they received gazettes free of postage, "wherewith they advantage themselves in their common trade of selling drink, and they have their single letters free to London." The rates of postage in 1677 were comparatively low. A single letter — i.e., a letter consisting of one sheet of paper only — could be sent for any distance up to 80 miles for twopence, and beyond 80 miles for threepence. A letter weighing an ounce cost eightpence for 80 miles and a shilling beyond. The mails were dispatched from London about midnight on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and were due to arrive in London early on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. They were carried on horseback at the rate of five miles an hour, and they were liable to a detention of not more than half an hour at each postoffice (stage) on the road. England was divided into six runnings, or roads—viz, west, Bristol, Chester; north, Yarmouth and Kent, starting from Plymouth, Bristol, Chester, Edinburgh, Yarmouth and Dover respectively.—Notes and Queries.

Backs' Block ANAHEIM VIGOR AND HEALTH AND ITS SECRETS A Correspondent Gives Some Interesting Facts About Improving the Mind and Body. Vigorous health is desired by all, and no youth can become a perfect athlete without perfect health. Everything in nature instructs us that movement and activity represent life, and even the lilies of the field, all teachings to the contrary, both toil and spin. Sloth and stagnation lead to decay, and decay leads to death. It is true that mere activity and exercise cannot give perfect health, but it is true that whoever possesses perfect health must be an active person. The blood of the sluggard becomes so it moves slowly, his liver becomes dormant and disease finds him an easy victim. God gave health; man made disease. To some extent all of us may suffer from the indiscretion and ignorant and thoughtless acts of our ancestors. By right living we may eliminate these evil results to a degree, and we may enjoy such health as is unknown to those who go on ignoring the laws of nature. The laborer who drives away from morning till night, day after day, at one kind of work exhausts his energy, wearies his mind as well as his body and becomes prematurely old. In order to have a healthy body, my boy, you must have a healthy mind. Fifth brings disease, and a filthy minded person is not healthy. Think clean thoughts. An athletic boy with a clean body, a clean mouth and a clean mind always wins the respect and admiration of his fellow man. Do not carry anything to excess unless it is cleanliness. No one can be too clean. There is a danger of carrying breathing exercises to an excess if one persists with the determination to acquire a remarkable expansion of the lungs. THE INSURANCE TRUST FRANTIC Senator Hann's Mutual Insurance Bill Passes the Senate. A bill passed the senate last Thursday in which the owners of every large mercantile establishment, and many of the smaller ones throughout the state, are directly interested, and which, if it passes the assembly, and meets with the approval of the Governor, will be of direct benefit to them. It is Senator Hann's Mutual Fire Insurance Bill. It is a direct slap at the insurance trust throughout the state, and the purpose of it is to enable merchants and others to carry their own insurance mutually, and thus remove the necessity for the payment of large premiums to the standing companies. Few bills which have been before this session of the legislature have caused more work of a general character in the lobby. Every member of both houses has received a telegram from representatives of the State Board of Underwriters asking him to oppose the bill, and on the other hand such an important organization as the California Retail Grocers' Association has urged the passage of the measure. Hann secured its passage in the upper house only by dint of good political work, and in order to secure votes enough for it Thursday, it was necessary to order a call of the house. It provides that any number of persons over twenty-five residents of this state, may form a corporation without capital stock for the purpose of the mutual protection of its members against loss by fire, where profit is not the object. No policy of insurance shall be issued by any such corporation until at least $400,000 of insurance, in not less than 300 separate risks, has been subscribed. Any member may withdraw at any time by surrendering his policy of insurance to the corporation, and giving thirty days' written notice of his inten- LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST At the last meeting of the local G.A.R. post Malvern Hill, No. 131, of Fullerton, the following resolutions were passed: Whereas, The city of San Francisco asked for the honor of entertaining the National Encampment at G.A.R. this year and it being the custom in the past of all cities asking such honor to bear their own expenses during said encampment, and Whereas, San Francisco having asked the state to appropriate $25,000 to help it make a blow; therefore be it Resolved, That the members of Malvern Hill post most emphatically condemn the spirit of greed and the want of patriotism shown by that city in asking alms of the taxpayers for that purpose and would ask the officers of the national encampment to change the place of meeting to some city whose citizens are willing to pay their own bills, as there are many of them that would deem it an honor, and have not so much of the spirit of greed and having an abundance of patriotism to entertain such guests without begging alms of their state. Resolved, That we do not condemn the patriotic spirit shown by the state legislature and governor in what they did. It is the beggers that we condemn. MICHEAL FRITZ, Post Commander. I. H.

A $10,000 fire, the most destructive in the history of Santa Ana, broke out Saturday morning between 4 and 5 o'clock in the business section. When first seen the flames came from the second story of the First National Bank building, had apparently wearies his mind as well as his body and becomes prematurely old. In order to have a healthy body, my boy, you must have a healthy mind. Fifth brings disease, and a filthy mind person is not healthy. Think clean thoughts. An athletic boy with a clean body, a clean mouth and a clean mind always wins the respect and admiration of his fellow man. Do not carry anything to excess unless it is cleanliness. No one can be too clean. There is a danger of carrying breathing exercises to an excess if one persists with the determination to acquire a remarkable expansion of the lungs. Just as long as the exercises are maintained you will be healthy, but if you acquire an unusual expansion and then cease to exercise there may come a collapse. The boy who takes a great interest in open air sports and competes in them is not wasting his time, he is building up his powers and fitting himself for the strains the battles of life produce. There are boys who are well satisfied to stand back, and give the 'rah. rah, while their comrades struggle for supremacy in athletic sports. Such boys will go through life raining for somebody else, and it is probable that they will attract small attention and amount to very little, therefor children should be urged by their parents to take gymnastical exercises, and should be made to attend a gymnasium, if such is within their reach, instead of wasting their time in idleness. The following remark is often made by parents: My children have no child life. They are training up a grade talking about examinations. Even in the fields the butterfly and toad are turned into object lessons and the grasshopper is torn to pieces in order to be instructive. I do not undervalue education; it is greatly to be desired, but our education is slaying its thousands. The burden is books. The tasks imposed on the young are fearful. The effort seems to be to make textbooks as difficult and complicated as possible, instead of smoothing the hill so high and so hard to climb. If this is true in our public schools, how much more so is it the case in our colleges. There ambitious young men strain every nerve to excel their classmates and stand as near the head as possible when graduation comes. Is it surprising that these ambitious young men often come forth with weakened bodies and broken health, so after having acquired all this vast store of learning, they are totally unable to put it to any practical use for want of strength and energy to do so. Our modern system of education is responsible to a large extent for this weakness and misery. Just as long as the system tends to develop the brain, the intellect, regardless of the welfare of the body, it will remain defective, and the results will year by year, become more deplorable. That we are still admirers of the physically strong and skillful is proven when more than twenty thousand intensely interested and enthusiastic spectators gather to witness a football game, as happened at the recent meeting between Yale It provides that any number of persons over twenty-five, residents of this state, may form a corporation without capital stock for the purpose of the mutual protection of its members against loss by fire, where profit is not the object. No policy of insurance shall be issued by any such corporation until at least $400,000 of insurance, in not less than 300 separate risks, has been subscribed. Any member may withdraw at any time by surrendering his policy of insurance to the corporation, and giving thirty days' written notice of his intention. Provision is made for supervision by the insurance commissioner. Hann stated that there are ninety-five foreign and eleven domestic insurance companies doing business in this state, and the amounts which they secure every year are enormous. What he desired was to give the merchants themselves an opportunity to mutually carry their own risks, without going into some profit-making concern which declares large dividends each year to its stockholders, and pays large salaries and commissions to its officers and agents. The bill passed by a vote of 25 to 10. In the assembly Goodrich has a companion bill, and the senate bill will be substituted. It is understood that the insurance trust proposes to make a desperate effort to prevent the passage of the bill in the lower house, for the reason that if it should become a law it would cut off a large part of the cream of their business. Aq's Correspondence. The Bureau of Insular Affairs, has just published a phamphlet of forty-six pages, giving the telegraphic correspondence of Emilo Aguinaldo from July 15, 1898, to February 28, 1899, the period just preceding the fall of Manila and following the outbreak of hostilities between the United States forces and the insurgents. These telegrams were discovered by Capt. John P. T. Taylor, Fourteenth Infantry, among a mass of papers captured from the so-called insurgent government. They are sufficiently complete to show that the insurgent leader leaned strongly upon others for advice and counsel, and that there was serious opposition to his authority, even among his own people, and an attack upon the American's at Manila had been fully decided upon before the outbreak of hostilities February 4, 1899, and that in the event that the struggle should prove successful, the new government that would have been created would not have been a republic, for titles of nobility, January 14, 1899 were promised to certain insurgent officers as a reward for entering Manila and capturing the American forces and their officers.

A $10,000 fire, the most destructive in the history of Santa Ana, broke out Saturday morning between 4 and 5 o'clock in the business section. When first seen the flames came from the second story of the First National Bank building, and had apparently been making slow headway for at least half an hour. The fire had reached the third story and attic before the firemen arrived. It was extinguished in a few minutes. Herman Harris dry goods house on the first floor, directly under the most serious blaze in the second and third stories, was drenched with water leading down from above, and the stock nearly ruined. His loss is the heaviest, probably the $2000 mark. Water damaged the offices of the bank to some extent. Others losers are A. H. Stutsman F. O Daniels, attorneys, whose libraries were injured; two secret societies, whose rooms in the third store were burned slightly; Santa Ana bookstore; occupying the building to the west, slightly damaged by water. It is probable that the flames originated in a small room to the rear of A. H. Stutsman's office, a room which has been unoccupied for three months. Spontaneous combustion of trash in this room is believed to have caused thieves. The extension of the wharf at Pacific City was begun Friday. The funeral of Freeman B. Spear who died here Wednesday was conducted Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Mills & Winbigler's parlor by ReB.C.Cory, pastor of The First Method Church.

By way of putting the whipping post to the best use a bill has been introduced in the Delaware legislature providing that briary at elections shall be punishable by forty lashes laid on the bare back of the briber.

"There is nothing new under the sun." As far back as January, 1873, congress passed a bill incorporating a wireless telegraph company under a system invented by Dr. Loomis of West Virginia. He was laughed at a good deal, but he convinced congress that the thing was possible. The shipment of a cargo of wheat from Tacoma to Japan has attracted attention to the growth of the milling business on the other side of the Pacific ocean.

The measure was introduced by Amerage of this county and it is said to have the sanction of the governor. It provides that the proposed board of pardons shall consider all applications for pardon and shall have power to grant paroles or by almost unanimous consent to grant full pardons. In order to bring this about it will be necessary to amend the constitution, because the organic law of the State places the pardoning power solely in the hands of the governor. Not the least of the worries incident to holding the office of chief executive of this State is the right to pardon criminals. Hardly a week passes but that mothers, wives, sisters or daughters send to the governor appeals, some of them couched in the most touching terms, for the release from prison of some relative who has erred and been convicted. Were these applications confined to written petitions the disposition of them would not be a difficult matter, but when a woman or several of them make a personal application of that character and between their tears beg of the governor to grant the freedom of some person dear to them, it seems at times almost heartless to refuse them, but it has to be done.

The details of which are as follows: Miss Isabellita Salazar, a beautiful and charming young Spanish senorita, was instantly killed by her jilted lover, one Enseblo Martinez, who immediately thereafter sent a bullet through his own heart. The murderer had been courting his victim for several months with indifferent success, but at last his ardent woining had the desired result and they became engaged. Martinez proceeded to prepare a home for his intended bride. A house was rented and all arrangements made for furnishing it. While these preparations were being made and all the world looked bright to the prospective benedict another lover of the fair senorita made his appearance on the scene and won the heart of the fickle maiden. At any rate her father, Santiago Salazar wrote Martinez, refusing him the hand of his daughter, giving as his reasons her tender age, she being but 15 years old. This angered Martinez, and he made oath that no other man should win her. Martinez left his home in Oxnard on the day of the tradgedy very much excited and went directly to the residence of his bethrothed, whom he demanded to see. After a heated discussion, in which he insisted on an early marriage, and being refused, he drew a revolver. The frightened girl fled from the house closely pursued by her angry lover who fired three shots at her, all of which took effect. Seeing her fall he turned the weapon upon himself and fired, the bullet piercing his heart, killing him instantly.

Not until recently has an effort been made to cure the Chill pepper, perhaps because its nutritious qualities have been but little understood and probably also because it is quite a complicated process. This pepper is of a scarlet hue, a full grown one measures from 6 to 8 inches in length and it grows on a plant about 2½ feet high. The scent of the fresh pepper is said to be very healthful. In the early autumn a pepper field furnishes pleasant out-of-door work for a group of young women and boys who strip the plants of their red pods and pile them in huge baskets, which are then carted to the factory which is located at Tustin. This factory, the property of C. E. Utt, is the next largest in the State and is operated in a warehouse on the corner of Maine and Hotel streets. Mr. Utt is a man of many enterprises and shrewdly chose this building for his pepper business that he might utilize the engine belonging to the water works next door, which is also under his direction, as a means of fanning the hot air, produced by the furnace, through the peppers. The pepper pickers string the peppers in bunches ten feet long then join the ends in a hard knot making a double-row bunch five feet long. These strings are suspended from nails in the ceiling of the evaporating room and the "horses" or sliding frames containing trays of loose pods are pushed into the area heated by the hot air which describes a circle, being fanned by the mill fresh from the engine into the evaporating room then, as it cools, it is sent back through pipes in the loft above. A steady heat of 130 degrees is maintained for nine days, at the end of which time the pods are limp and pliable but when the room is allowed to cool they resume their former degree of toughness. After the evaporating process is completed the pods are sorted. In this business there is no waste, as refuse pods make excellent chicken feed when ground to bits. The good ones are packed in sacks holding about 60 pounds and taken to the station from which they are shipped to the neighboring cities, the greatest quantity Mortnies left his home in Oxnard on the day of the tradgedy very much excited and went directly to the residence of his bethrothed, whom he demanded to see. After a heated discussion, in which he insisted on an early marriage, and being refused, he drew a revolver. The frightened girl fled from the house closely pursued by her angry lover who fired three shots at her, all of which took effect. Seeing her fall he turned the weapon upon himself and tired, the bullet piercing his heart, killing him instantly. A five-year-old sister of the murdered girl was the only witness to the double tragedy. The murderer and suicide was a bar-tender in one of the saloons of Oxnard and had served time in the Ventura county jail for disturbance of the peace. Argument in Irrigation Cases. The case of the irrigation districts of this valley (S. A. V.I. Company and Anaheim Union Water Company) against Fuller will come up for argument before Judge Bledsoe at River-side April 27th. The transcript of the evidence has been written up and the book is one of 1633 pages of type-writing. This mass of testimony must be gone over in the argument so that it is quite evident that the task is no small one. Win the Strike. Vancouver, B.C., March 8. — The United Brotherhood of Railway Employees claim to have won the strike against the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Brotherhood officials state that the strike will be declared off and that the strikers will return to work with recognition of the Brotherhood by the company on Monday or by Tuesday at the latest. No corroborative statements have been issued by the company, but it is said that General Superintendent Mar-pole of the Pacific division forwarded to the general manager at Montreal to-day for his approval the demands of the Brotherhood. The telegram of President Estes last evening calling out members of the Brotherhood at Calgary and Winnipeg is said to have been subsequently countermanded in view of the probability of a settlement.

Redding, Cal., March 5.—The peach and almond trees in the vicinity of Redding, which were lured into bloom by the warm weather of the past ten days were covered with snow this morning. If the weather turns to freezing cold, great damage will be done. This late fall of snow is another strange incident in a most extraordinary season. Although replete with freak storms, the season's rainfall is but 34.83 inches, or over five inches less than last year at this time. Victoria, B. C.
